Book 2 of 5. Continuing the ‘behind the scenes’ look at the book covers for the Amplifier Series photographed and designed by Gene Mollica Studios, Jonathan Cannaux joined Devon Ericksen for the photoshoot for Demons and DNA (Amplifier 1) [as Emma’s dark and deadly sorcerer, Aiden].
I selected two shots for the cover of book one:
I absolutely adored Devon’s attitude (for Emma) in this shot – the wind in her hair, the bare feet. But, if you’ve read the book, you’ll understand that Jonathan (Aiden) was standing too close to her. So …
I asked Gene to use this shot for Aiden (set slightly into the background). This was just so ‘Aiden’ to me. The bat, the casual readiness, the perfect bone structure …
And with those two photos and a bit of chatter from me about location, magic, etc, Gene created this masterpiece, featuring the house, the barn, the Mustang, and subtle hints of the demon attack.

I love these behind the scenes looks!
I’d love a copy. I’m slowly buying all the hard copies (I already have all the ebooks)
Thank you for sharing the behind the scene for this book cover. Kinda cool to see and read. Kinda cool also that I actually own the same dress Emma is wearing on that cover 😉
That is so neat! Love seeing the pics behind the covers!
very much enjoying the behind the scenes looks as well. Take Care!
I never noticed the deamon attack hints before 😮 I love this series covers!
They are exactly how I pictured Emma and Aiden to be!
Heck yeah! I’d love to win!
Ooh! It’s all very clever how they put the pictures together. Love the behind the scenes posts!
MCD, you are truly the best!!! <3
I love the behind the scenes on these covers! And it isnt the threat of demons that is getting me hot and bothered😜
Of course I would like to win a copy.
It is great to have a peek as to what it takes to create awesome book covers!
It’s amazing to see the behind the cover images! Very cool how it came together.
Ah! I would loved a signed copy! ❤❤ I have been following the whole Adept Universe ever since I saw a beautifil cupcake on a cover back in 2014 and a mention of magic in the description took me away. 🤓
It made the perfect cover!
It is a wonderful cover.
I’m enjoying the behind the cover reveals.
Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you for sharing the process with us! The books are fab and the covers are perfect.
One of my favourite covers I think. I like the little details. Buying the Kindle versions means you miss out on these. Nits one of the reasons I buy vinyl, it’s an artefact you can handle and linger over.
You rock Meghan😊💖💖💖
Loving these behind the scenes peeks. The process is so interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I love the instant connection between Aiden and Emma. Your books makes me feel like I’m watching it happen instead of reading.
I never would have thought it starts with an actual photograph! I thought it was all created digital! How cool!
I would love to win. You are an amazing author
You are so incredibly generous with all your giveaways!!
I love your covers, and must add how much I appreciate that you don’t take the cheap option and use Shutterstock or whatever to use the same images everyone else is using. Your attention to detail sets you above your peers.
Who knew that’s how a book cover is born?! Very cool process. I wonder if the models are ever recognized while strolling down the street? “Omg, it’s AIDEN!”
So fun to see the behind the scenes process on your covers. Thanks for sharing.
Your are so generous sharing your time when you provide these behind the scene glimpses. Your giveaways are the icing on the cake. But above all of that, I appreciate you sharing your wonderful books with us!
Very cool. Awesome to see the behind the scenes look. I think some people greatly underestimate the work writer put into their covers.
I am *amazed* at how pictures can be edited… That looks awesome!
I’m going to have to read through the books again to catch myself up….
This is great. I’m loving these snippets of a process that readers don’t get to know about.
This would be my first hard copy book of your series! ❤️
I love this. Seeing the before pictures and then the after that is the cover is amazing. The talent that people have to make covers is really cool.
This is so fun! I live seeing the process you go through to pick a cover photo, and how it makes the perfectcover! Thanks for sharing with us
Always enjoy the insight into behind the scenes. So excited foe the next book!!
I love seeing how this comes together!
Such a great cover for an excellent book!
I can’t say how much I appreciate your books. You are just the best writer in the world!

I absolutely admire your imagination. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I love how much share with your readers! Love all your books.
This cover has the possibilities spinning in my head. The best thing, I’ll still be fully entertained. Can’t wait!
To have all of your books signed would you be awesome. Maybe someday when things get back to normal I could see you at a book signing. I would love it 😊 I have always wanted to see Canada.
Love this series and LOVE PAISLEY sorry can’t help it 💜 every thing you write is gold 😊 and behind the scenes is super fun!

I find it fascinating how you have such absolute images of these characters in your head that you could imagine the perfect image from two different photos.
Hello. I would love to have a copy. I’m still working my way through your books and loving every minute
I’m loving the behind the scenes looks at how these were created!
Love the explanations about “behind the scenes”. Great covers!
I think the depth of character development you have in every story is the reason we fall in love with the characters so much. You bring to life every story 💖

Love to see how you create the covers of these books!! It is a snapshot of how your wonderful mind processes what you are looking for in the covers of your books. Thank you!
